The best publisher of computer games for the year 2018 was identified and named, which was determined by the Metacritic site aggregator.

In first place in 2018 was the company Capcom. According to Gamebomb.ru, the publisher literally took off to the first line, since in 2017 it occupied only the fifth place. The website Metacritic relied on the following criteria when calculating: the average rating of all games released in 2018, the percentage of games with a good rating (not less than 7.5 out of 10), the percentage of games with a bad rating (4.9 or lower) and the number of games with a rating above 9. Good performance in these criteria just helped Capcom to take first place. Monster Hunter: World turned out to be the best release of the publisher, and on the contrary the game Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 – the worst. The average rating of all games of the company is 79.3 out of 100.

In total, Capcom received positive reviews from critics and gamers for 5 of the 6 games released. However, the greatest result of the company brought the release of Monster Hunter: World, which became the best-selling game in the history of Capcom. The only comment the company received from the Metacritic website was that most of the game releases were remasters or collections of previously released projects. The second place in the ranking was taken by SEGA, which was the third one a year ago, and Electronic Arts publisher closes the top three.
